Fill the Eye

Fill the eye with solo thought Mirror of mind is eye Smile can deceive not The dreams which in heart die. In a speck of moment shine like star But in next dull as night From happiness miles far Like a free flowing fateless kite What you dream is all figments’ child Leads to sorrow, mightier than death Al the new born thoughts wild Die in a single breath. The pain I feel is pleasure now And pleasure felt is pain As to the falseness I bow And reject the truth in vain. Where to die seems like joy And life itself a sorrow Where each, each other annoy And disappear forever beyond tomorrow. The anxiety, the pain I feel Is like a caged tiger, shackled in bondage And shown as lamb in veil. Dying each moment in rage. Heart has died ages hence As nothing now I feel As can’t live as in fence And can’t my own wounds heal. How can the birds forever smile?, And how can the trees always grow I can’t wear smile for a while And what is growth? I don’t know. Akash Sangwan
